A Strengths-Based Approach to Supporting Families and Children with IDD

In this course, Maggie Robbins, RDT, and Eileen Slade, LCSW, will explore how to support the family system from a positive, strengths-based framework for developing family skills to increase capacity. We will take a special look at the sibling relationship for individuals with IDD and how a systemic and strengths-based approach affirms the needs of all individuals within the family system.
